Regents Exams not really on the block

Despite this delightful cartoon, and despite the (overly hopeful) stuff I wrote last week, it turns out that there wasn’t a proposal to eliminate most NY State Regents Exams. Shame.

Turns out the Board of Regents requested that staff cost out the savings for a bunch of cuts, to have the numbers in front of them. There was never a proposal to make a single one of the cuts.

So, if the budget is tight next year, so tight that they need to actually cut, they will know in advance how much each item could save. None of this was going to happen now. None of this is likely to happen next year.
